Chromian Clinochlore ("Kammererite")

Item Description

This material is now called Chromian Clinoclore (var: "Kammererite"). Years ago, it actually was a valid species, and a lot of people still call it Kammererite regardless. This is one of those minerals that has one of the most unique colors in the mineral world. Maybe Roselite and Erythrite have similar color, but this amazing purplish-pink is one the most recognizable colors out there. This piece is a good overall specimen with several sharp, gemmy, rich purplish-pink monoclinic crystals measuring up to 4 mm. A great overall piece and one of the few specimens of this material that I've offered from this locality recently.
